The Ggantija Temples are
one of the most important
archaeological sites in
Malta. The origins of
Ggantija date back to
c.3600 BC and belong to the
Temple Period (c.4100-2500
BC) when an extremely
advanced society inhabited
the Maltese Islands
The gigantic dimensions of the megaliths have
always struck a chord with popular imagination.
In centuries past, some locals even believed
that the Islands’ temples, in particular those
of Ggantija, were the work of giants. This
particular temple site in Gozo bears witness
to this ancient legend: its name, Ggantija, is
Maltese for giant.
